Touring And Camping In Wales: What You Need To Know
Never toured or been camping before in Wales. Here are some key things to remember before you plan your next trip.
Be Prepared For Welsh Weather
Now it wouldn’t be Wales if there wasn’t going to be a conversation about the weather, now would it?
Even in the peak of summer, it’s always a good idea to pack waterproof clothing and warm layers, especially in Wales. This is especially useful in the evenings, when it tends to get cooler, or even if you’ve spent a day at the beach; there’s nothing better than coming back to the campsite warm and dry.
Being on the coast can also get a bit windy. As well as layers, be sure to pack a windbreak, as this will help keep you and your family sheltered from the cold. Plus, it’s great for the beach too, providing a bit of privacy when going in and out of the sea.
Choose The Right Type Of Pitch
Nolton Cross Caravan Park offers a range of accommodation options for individuals, couples and families.
As well as boasting seven modern, fully equipped holiday caravans, Nolton also offers touring and camping pitches, with 15 spaces for motorhomes, touring caravans and tents. Guests can choose from electric hook-up or hardstanding pitches, depending on what they need.
To avoid disappointment, it’s always best to book in advance, especially during peak season. Summer pitches often sell out fast and bank holidays tend to get booked up, so plan your trip early so you don’t miss out.
Make The Most Of The Location
One of the best things about Nolton Cross Caravan Park is the location. Set in the heart of Pembrokeshire, you can explore everything West Wales has to offer, from castles and coastlines to little hidden gems.
With so much to see, it’s a good idea to plan your stay and do a bit of research beforehand. Some activities and sites may also be seasonal or require booking in advance, so it’s essential to check the availability of the activities before you book a date.
Prefer to be spontaneous and go with the flow? That’s cool too! The team at Nolton can offer recommendations of things to do, places to eat and historical landmarks that are available all year round.
Things To Do Near Nolton Cross And Nolton Haven Beach
As well as exploring Pembrokeshire’s beautiful beaches, Nolton Cross has lots of other things to explore in the local area, from boat trips and watersports to family fun days out.
If you’re into wildlife spotting, then taking a boat to the famous Skomer Island is one to add to your bucket list. Get up close with puffins, seals, and other incredible marine wildlife. Boat trips to islands, such as Ramsey and Skokholm are also home to dolphins, whales, and 50,000 breeding Manx Shearwaters, so there’s plenty for you to see.
Enjoy watersports? Pembrokeshire is one big playground for the adventurous holidaymaker. Spend the day surfing or bodyboarding at one of the local surf schools and master the art with an experienced surf instructor. Or have a go at sea kayaking or rock climbing with Activity Pembrokeshire – with lots of activities for the whole family to experience.
Want something more relaxing and less involved? Why not stroll along the breathtaking Pembrokeshire coastal path or visit local village art galleries, craft shops or even Roch Castle.
